How to properly use pepper spray for self-defense
Wearing gloves is the best way to ensure you don't accidentally injure yourself while pepper spraying. This will prevent accidental shooting from the gun.
You should also aim your pepper spray at the eyes. The eyes are the most sensitive part of the body and could be damaged if pepper spray is used. It is better to aim towards the nose than directly at the eyes.
When you spray pepper spray, make sure to hold it tightly in your hand. Because if the canister falls, it could burst open and spray everywhere. Slowly squeeze the trigger when you are ready for it to fire. The trigger must be pressed down at all times to ensure pepper spray works.
Pepper spray is best if it's directly applied to the eyes. If you are not able to reach the eyes with the spray, it is best to aim for the nose.
Once the pepper spray hits the mark, the attacker may feel very uncomfortable. They may feel nauseated or dizzy. He/she will likely experience intense itching/burning sensations.
You should quickly flee the area once you have been rendered unconscious by your attacker. Don't let him/her get near you again. Don't hesitate to call the police.
